Wow, Morgan. Those are gorgeous. I love Enjolras especially, but the Bahorel is stunning, too. I wish I had a portion of your talent. And also, if that's your handwriting next to the pictures, I am very, very jealous of it.

Our chimeras are the things which most resemble us. Each of us dreams of the unknown and the impossible in accordance with his nature.

Wow, Morgan. I love all the shading, especially, and the little half-smile. Ridiculously impressive again (even if for some reason, I thought more of Tholomyes than Courfeyrac, though I guess that makes sense, because Hugo said they were alike, but sorry, it probably just fit my strange mental image), but again, I wish I had your talent.

Shading is my favourite bit because I get to stick my fingers in things (Me shading stuff is basically finger-painting with graphite, and I am an overgrown five-year-old and thus think art is totally at its best when it's good and clarty, so I have practiced that part lots.)

Also, you have your own talent, you don't need to wish for mine. Looking at your drawing thread, you seem to be really good at the sort of complex multi-figure compositions I really struggle with, and I think that's much more impressive. Shading and lighting is something I think is mostly a matter of lots of practice and a good putty rubber

Ah, yes, that's the best, rubbing your fingers in graphite. My mother always wonders what's happened to me when I've been drawing, because the tips of all my fingers, and the edge from my pinky to my wrist are all silver. It's so successful when you do it, though; I love it, because I usually use it to make things darker and smear lines as opposed to add variation to people's faces, and all, but it's so beautiful when you do.

And thank you very much. It means a lot to me that you think so, and that I could learn. I'd like to try.
